“Your mysterious young friend, whose name you have never told me, but whose picture really fascinates me, never thinks.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world?”

“Don’t turn your face away.
Once you’ve seen, you can no longer act like you don’t know.
Open your eyes to the truth. It’s all around you.
Don’t deny what the eyes to your soul have revealed to you.

Now that you know, you cannot feign ignorance.
Now that you’re aware of the problem, you cannot pretend you don’t care.
To be concerned is to be human.
To act is to care.”
― Vashti Quiroz-Vega

“The wounded recognized the wounded.”
― Nora Roberts, Rising Tides
